HSFA has partnered with General Growth Properties, Inc., KIDSAFEID, LLC, Child Shield USA, FedHealth, and other key organizations and is working with FEMA, local Emergency Management Agencies, and Fire and Police Departments to provide free family safety and disaster preparedness resources. HSFA is scheduled to deploy eight safety exhibits around Georgia in late 2008 and plans to expand the campaign to every state in the Union in 2009.

Our newest members have the courage, talent and experience we need to further our mission. We’re aggressively working to expand our panel of experts. I invite government officials, security experts, law enforcement agents, and professionals from all walks of life to join our Board and this movement towards a safer, more prosperous America.”

About HSFA

The “Price of Security” is one of the greatest challenges we face today. HSFA is the only nonprofit, nonpartisan public charity, with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) / Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) certified staff, established to help advance homeland security while preserving Americans’ civil liberties. HSFA believes a strong, effective presence of security is best achieved by empowering American citizens to lawfully safeguard their valuable assets and by opening lines of communication between the public and law enforcement. HSFA was recently featured on General Norman Schwarzkopf’s award winning World Business Review (WBR).
